Derek Sanderson is one of the most enigmatic characters the sport of hockey (as well as the city of Boston) has ever seen. It’s about time he wrote a book.

The Bruins great’s book, Crossing the Line, is in stores, and he dropped by NESN on Thursday night to chat about the tell-all book with Naoko Funayama. The new release details some of the more intimate details of a hockey player and a man who appeared to be living the dream while also battling some pretty fierce demons.

Sanderson spoke about the book on NESN Daily, but he also chatted about the NHL lockout, with some strong words for hockey’s power brokers.

“It’s disgusting to tell you the truth,” he said. “There’s absolutely no reason for it. You have a basketball guy on one side of the table talking to a baseball guy on the other side of the table, judging the future of hockey.

“It has to be hockey people. Hockey people need to discuss the future of hockey.”

See the video above for more, including Sanderson detailing the impact that Bruins legend Bobby Orr had on his life.

It's your owner driving the lockout at this point! I would be upset at your owner Bruins fans. Jeremy Jacobs is ruining this game. Boston I believe is the 5th team in terms of net worth in the NHL. This guy almost ruined the Bruins! Now he's ruining the NHL!

I very seldome use the word "HATE" because it is a strong word that cannot be taken back once it is said.....But I "HATE BATTEMAN" for what he's done to Hockey and he needs to be punished to the full extent of what can be done. Put hockey people in charge NOT the areses from othere sports. He's just another JEW looking to Screw who he can to get the almighty buck.
